Small victories

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some days it’s in the little things

That we claim victory;
A smile where only pain had been
Is such a gift to see;
 
A simple meal with one whose time
On earth is nearly past,
That you might have one extra day
Of memories that last.
 
A hand squeezing your own hand back
Can be blessed gift;
A moment when your name’s recalled
Might give your heart a lift.
 
We all have times within our lives
When sorrow looms too near,
But it’s a gift of God’s great love
To hold onto what’s dear.
 
So take your victories each day
And wipe away each tear,
For joy’s a crown that God bestows
On those who hold it dear.
 
Psalm 149:4
For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
